Hexapla Series: Whats in a Name?

Naming is an important social practice. Names act as referents, carry meanings and can even be adapted and recontextualized within different cultural milieus to take on new meanings. The name of this work, a name familiar to many, hearkens back to the lost work of the second and third century thinker of Alexandrian fame, Origen. In the last several years, discussions among scholars concerning Origens Hexapla have swirled with controversy. Numerous attempts have been made to uncover Origens motives for creating a comparative version of the Hebrew and Greek Old Testament, despite the fact that Origen himself mentions the aim being text-critical in nature.1 Likely the first book (or codex) ever presented in columnar format, Origens Hexapla was meant to be read across rather than down the page.2 From left to right, the first column on the page was the Hebrew text, which was followed by a column of transliterated Hebrew. The next four versions would be the Greek recensions of Aquila, Symmachus the LXX and Theodotian. Estimated at around 6,500 plus pages before the possible addition of other columns, it is easy to see that this project was a massive undertaking in its day and that it involved more than just Origen.3 Unfortunately, Origens Hexapla, although probably never completed, has been lost to us, as has the seventh century translation by Paul of Tella known as the SyroHexapla.4 Origens work, housed in the library at Alexandria, is believed to have been destroyed by the Saracens in a seventh-century raid. What has been recovered remains in the form of fragments that were published long ago by Frederick Field.5 More recently, a number of scholars have undertaken a project to reconstruct a complete version of the Hexapla, which will be a great contribution to the field of Biblical Studies.6 One particular contribution that Origens Hexapla has made, despite its nonexistence today, is in the area of formatting: placing beside one another two or more languages. Although there were many diglots (two languages) and polyglots (multiple languages) made over a century ago, during this past century they have waned. To the best of our knowledge, no major polyglot has been published since the late nineteenth century.7

Luke-Acts Polyglot

What one finds instead during the last several decades are parallel Bibles (often comparing English Bible translations) and interlinears (Hebrew or Greek with an English version). Nearly all of the major Bible publishing houses have gone to press with some version of a parallel text of English translations.8 Interlinear texts have also risen to prominence.9 The Luke-Acts Polyglot that you are now holding is essentially a hexapla that works in either an interlinear or horizontal parallel fashion. The interlinear-formatted texts feature Hebrew, Latin, Greek, English, German, and French verse-by-verse. Such arrangement allows for immediate comparison of language/versions to reinforce learning of vocabulary, grammar, syntax, and idiom. In this edition, the interlinear format is used for The Gospel of Luke and has been edited so that each page begins with the Hebrew version and ends with the French version; thus, each page contains a complete interlinear presentation of all six versions. There is no run over onto the next page. The parallel-formatted book in this volume is The Acts of the Apostles and features horizontal portions of these languages to fit within one page; thus often three to six verses of each version are found on a single page. The purpose of this latter format is that, by reading larger portions of languages in parallel, one can increase reading proficiency while still allowing for language comparison. So, to answer the question posed at the front of this introduction, we may say, There is a lot in a name! However, there are two important differences from Origens work. First, this Hexapla Series is not primarily intended for text-critical work, although one will notice a verse here or that is missing in this or that version, which may prompt you to delve more deeply into the matter text-critically. Second, instead of reading across the columns as in Origens edition, we have taken six translations and arranged them in an interlinear or parallel fashion, allowing for easier comparison of individual terms, grammar, syntax, and idiom as you read down the page. To round out this discussion further, however, a few words concerning the purpose and contents of these volumes are in order. As far as purpose, our target audiences are mainly threefold: linguaphiles (language lovers) who want to learn new languages or keep alive old ones; graduate and doctoral students who are preparing for

See for example, Zondervans Comparative Study Bible (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1999), Hendricksons The New Hendrickson Parallel Bible (Peabody, Mass.: Hendrickson, 2008), Thomas Nelsons The Message-NKJV Parallel Bible (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 2007) and Oxfords The Complete Parallel Bible (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1993). A decade ago the American Bible Society published a diglot titled English Hebrew Bible: NKJV/FL (New York: American Bible Society, 2001). 9 Jay P. Green, Sr. has published a rather large volume of the Hebrew and Greek texts with an English interlinear arrangement within the last couple of decades. See his The Interlinear Bible: HebrewGreek-English (Peabody, Mass.: Hendrickson, 1986). Philip W. Comfort has also produced The New GreekEnglish Interlinear New Testament (Carol Stream, Ill.: Tyndale House, 1993) and the new reverse-interlinear versions have also become popular, see William D. Mounces, Interlinear for the Rest of Us: The Reverse Interlinear for New Testament Word Studies (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2006) and J. Schwandt and C. J. Collins, eds., The English-Greek Reverse Interlinear New Testament: English Standard Version (Wheaton, Ill.: Crossway Bibles, 2006).

research language exams; and scholars, professors or laypersons who may be interested in keeping their theological languages active. We could think of no better text to read in multiple languages than the New Testament. This brings us to the content of the Hexapla Series. When we embarked on this project, we were amazed that despite the technological advances in both publishing and biblical study aids, no resource of this kind presently existed. Our conviction is that when placed beside many of the great grammars, study aids and language resources already available, the volumes of this Hexapla Series will function as an important and enjoyable supplement. We are beginning with the Luke-Acts edition, not only because Luke-Acts is the largest portion to the New Testament by one author (yes, more than the Apostle Paul!), but also because of the completeness of relating the gospel of Jesus Christ, beginning with his birth and ministry and into the formation and growth of the earliest churches. We hope to complete the entire New Testament by the addition of four more volumes as follows: Pauline Literature, Mark-Matthew, Johannine Literature, and Hebrews with the remaining Catholic Epistles. In each volume, one will find both the interlinear and parallel formats; individual biblical books within a volume will feature either one or the other format.

Why these Languages and Particular Versions?

The short answer to the question above is that these languagesHebrew, Latin, Greek, English, German, and Frenchare the basic research languages for the field of New Testament Studies and more generally Biblical Studies, minus biblical Aramaic. No recent book places these languages side-by-side for ones reading pleasure (yes, pleasure!). The basic criterion, then, for choosing which version to use was availability in public domain for copyright and editing reasons or in the case of the Hebrew New Testament, the Salkinson-Ginsburg 1886 edition (revised in 2000), the kind permission to include this by the copyright holder, The Society for Distributing Hebrew Scriptures. Below is a brief discussion of each language version in order of display in the Luke-Acts Polyglot, as well as a section on textual variances between the versions and the strategies adopted to address this matter in this edition. To begin, the Society for Distributing Hebrew Scriptures has kindly granted us permission to use the updated edition of the Salkinson-Ginsburg Hebrew NT (2000). The text is fully vowel-pointed and versified but lacking in the typical Hebrew accenting and punctuation. The version, initially developed in 1881 by the linguistically skilled and proficient student of Hebrew Bible, Dr. Isaac Salkinson, who died in 1883 sadly before its completion, was then finished by Dr. C. D. Ginsburg in 1886. In 2000, the work was updated by Dr. Eri S. Gabe, who brought it into line with the Greek Textus Receptus. The Salkinson-Ginsburg Hebrew NT contains idiomatic Biblical Hebrew, which, along with its alignment with the Textus Receptus, is why it is a very valuable addition to the LukeActs Polyglot.

Contact information of the Society for Distributing Hebrew Scripture can be found at the website above or at their international home website at http://www.sdhs.co.uk/. The Latin edition used is that of Clementine from 1592 (3rd edition, 1598) under the title Biblia Sacra Vulgatae Editionis Sixti Quinti Pont. Max. iussu recognita atque edita (Typographia Apostolica Vaticana). It is named after Pope Clement VIII who called for its creation. In textual critical editions of the NT, such as the Nestle-Aland27 and the UBS4, the Clementine Vulgate is indicated by vgcl.10 The Clementine text was the official version of the Vulgate until 1979, then replaced by the Neo-Vulgate edition. The value of the Clementine Vulgate is that it represents a Latin edition that is close to the Byzantine Greek tradition, or what was edited into the Majority Text. The Clementine Latin spellings contain some idiosyncrasies, most notable the use of a j instead of an i in the pronoun eiusthus one finds ejus in the Clementine Vulgate. We have not changed these idiosyncrasies. The Greek text used is that of Maurice A. Robinson and William G. Pierpont 1995 edition which reflects the Majority Text in the Byzantine Greek manuscript tradition. The Greek is fully accented. Because the Textus Receptus was developed on the basis of the Majority Text (even though it differs in a number of places), the Hebrew, Latin, and Greek editions of the Luke-Acts Polyglot are nearly identical. In general, when the Majority Greek text has lacked a verse, it has been noted and supplied either from the Wescott-Hort Greek New Testament edition (1881) or Scrivener Greek New Testament edition (1894). It should also be said that by using the Greek Majority Text, there has been no judgment as to its superiority over the Alexandrian text tradition, as more represented in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament. The English text is an updated translation of the American Standard Version (ASV) of 1901. The ASV is an Americanized version of the Revised Version (1881-85) of the King James Version (1611). Among the strengths of the ASV is its literalism when rendering the Greek text. As a version, the ASV was revised to make the Revised Standard Version (1952; 1971) and the New American Standard Bible (1971 and 1995). The ASVs ultimate demise as a translation, however, was due to its preserving Elizabethan English. To fix this latter problem, in the Luke-Acts Polyglot the English idiom of the ASV has been updated in thousands of places. For instance, thither has been changed to there; hither to here, hath to has, hast to had, etc. and verbal endings with eth to either s or es. Otherwise, the literalness in corresponding to the underlying Greek is often preserved for better comparison with the other languages of this Polyglot. At times, however, whole sentences were retranslated. These sentences will at times

diverge in literalness from the other languages, for the sake of preserving better English idiom for those wanting to work on their Englishbut such variability should help when comparing the different renditions of the languages, to cause deeper reflection on meaning and idiom in each of the respective languages. The German text is from the 1912 updated version of the Lutherbibel originally of 1534. Hardly anything needs to be said regarding the influence of Luthers famous translation and its influence on the German tongue, let alone theological German vocabulary. Indeed, an oft quoted statement by the great church historian Philip Schaff is worth repeating here: The richest fruit of Luther's leisure in the Wartburg, and the most important and useful work of his whole life, is the translation of the New Testament, by which he brought the teaching and example of Christ and the Apostles to the mind and heart of the Germans in life-like reproduction. It was a republication of the gospel. He made the Bible the peoples book in church, school, and house.11 Luther worked from Erasmuss Greek text and the Vulgate, but in revisions worked with Greek texts akin to the Majority Text. For these reasons, the German version is matched well with the other language versions of the Luke-Acts Polyglot. Finally, the French text is from the Louis Segond Version of 1880, but then reviewed and revised by the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1910. It was the French equivalent to the King James Version, and was very widely read. Dr. Louis Segond was a Swiss theologian and pastor who translated first the Old Testament in 1871; then privately he translated the New Testament in 1880 and together with the OT published his entire translation with Oxford Press. In both endeavors, Segond, himself a professor of OT at Geneva, translated using the critical editions of Hebrew and Greek of his day.

Differences in Versification and Content among Versions

One might imagine that when working with six different languages/versions of the NT arising out of different ecclesial and local traditions that there would be differences. There are. Occasionally, one reading through the Luke-Acts Polyglot will encounter differences of versification (verse numbering) and content (verses missing or extra verses or missing or extra words). The versification differences are due to variance in the tradition of how and where to number the verses. Chapter numbers were added around AD 1200 by Peter the Chanter and Stephen Langton; versification began in the late 13th century and was more standardized by Robert Estienne (better known as Stephanus, 1503-59) in his Greek NT published in 1551. Various competing versification traditions continued, however, and this accounts for the occasional variations seen when viewing six versions dating from the sixteenth century and later.

Luke-Acts Polyglot

The second matter of content is due to the variety of textual traditions behind and reflected in the versions chosen for the Luke-Acts Polyglot. By in large, the versions match very wellthe English, German, and French translations were based upon textual traditions near to the Hebrew NT (the Greek Textus Receptus), the Clementine Vulgate, and the Greek Majority Text. So, the advantage is that they are very nearly identical, except in some places. And those places are interesting: In some instances, the Majority Text has a verse missing. In general, when the Majority Greek text has lacked a verse, it has been noted and supplied either from the Wescott-Hort edition (1881) or Scrivener edition (1894). In what follows below, we have noted many, but not all, of the discrepancies of versification and content in order of appearance throughout Luke-Acts. Luke 9:4The phrase as even Elijah did? is represented by only four of the six versions. Luke 9:57To bring the different versions into the same verse alignment involved on occasion moving a portion of a verse to another verse. Thus, in the Lutherbibel Luke 9:57, the beginning sentence (Und sie gingen in einen anderen Markt.) was moved to the end of Luke 9:56, where the equivalent sentence is found in the other versions. Luke 9:57At times the Majority text is expansivefor instance, the vocative Lord is found at the end of 9:57, and is not found in the other translations, but only the English and French. Luke 11:4The sentence But deliver us from the evil one ( ) is found in all but the Latin and the French. This longer reading is probably a textual variant that arose by the parallel account in Matt 6:13. Luke 11:54All versions but the French have an equivalent to in order to condemn him. Luke 14:24The sentence For many are invited, but few are chosen is only in the Greek and the English. Luke 17:7The Greek Majority Text places immediately before the direct discourse marked by the comma, whereas all the versions place it within the direct discourse: , , For example, the English has But who is there from you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, who will say to him, when he is come in from the field, Come immediately and sit down; Interestingly, the German conflates these by placing alsbald (soon) both before and within the direct discourse. Luke 17:36There is no corresponding Greek text in the Greek Majority Text; so the Greek text is supplied from the other manuscript tradition, because the other versions have this verse. Thus, one will see the comments inside of brackets [] for this verse, which is reproduced below:

63:71 17:36 duo in agro: unus assumetur, et alter relinquetur. 17:36 [Absent in Majority Text] , 17:36 There will be two people in the field; the one will be taken, and the other will be left. 17:36 Zwei werden auf dem Felde sein; einer wird angenommen, der andere wird verlassen werden. 17:36 De deux hommes qui seront dans un champ, lun sera pris et lautre laiss. Luke 17:37The Clementine Vulgate has split in half 17:37 to add another verse, 17:38. The other versions have the same text, but do not place the second part into a verse 38. In other words, the other versions end chapter 17 with verse 37. Luke 22:66 and 67 are versified slightly differently. Luke 22:68Both the Clementine Vulgate and Greek Majority Text add an extra statement at the end respectively, and neque dimittetis (or dismiss [me]). Acts 8:37The Greek Majority text is lacking a verse. The Greek is supplied by Scriveners Greek edition. Acts 15:34The Greek Majority Text is missing a verse: But it seemed good to Silas to remain there. The Greek is supplied by Scriveners Greek edition. Acts 19:40-41 The ASV English text was missing v.41. Also, The Clementine Vulgate had the content of v.41, but did not versify it separately from v.40. Other versification and content variations are found at, e.g., Acts 24:7 and 24:1819.

Alors les aptres runis lui demandrent: Seigneur, est-ce en ce temps que tu rtabliras le royaume dIsral? 7 Il leur rpondit: Ce nest pas vous de connatre les temps ou les moments que le Pre a fixs de sa propre autorit. 8 Mais vous recevrez une puissance, le Saint-Esprit survenant sur vous, et vous serez mes tmoins Jrusalem, dans toute la Jude, dans la Samarie, et jusquaux extrmits de la terre.

1:9 Et cum hc dixisset, videntibus illis, elevatus est: et nubes suscepit eum ab oculis eorum. 10 Cumque intuerentur in clum euntem illum, ecce duo viri astiterunt juxta illos in vestibus albis, 11 qui et dixerunt: Viri Galili, quid statis aspicientes in clum? Hic Jesus, qui assumptus est a vobis in clum, sic veniet quemadmodum vidistis eum euntem in clum. 12 Tunc reversi sunt Jerosolymam a monte qui vocatur Oliveti, qui est juxta Jerusalem, sabbati habens iter. 1:9 , , . 10 , , , 11 , , ; , , . 12 , , . 1:9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they were looking steadfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 who also said, You men of Galilee, why stand you looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven, thus will come in like manner as you watched him going into heaven. 12 Then they returned into Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near to Jerusalem, a Sabbath days journey off. 1:9 Und da er solches gesagt, ward er aufgehoben zusehends, und eine Wolke nahm ihn auf vor ihren Augen weg. 10 Und als sie ihm nachsahen, wie er gen Himmel fuhr, siehe, da standen bei ihnen zwei Mnner in weien Kleidern, 11 welche auch sagten: Ihr Mnner von Galila, was stehet ihr und sehet gen Himmel? Dieser Jesus, welcher von euch ist aufgenommen gen Himmel, wird kommen, wie ihr ihn gesehen habt gen Himmel fahren. 12 Da wandten sie um gen Jerusalem von dem Berge, der da heit lberg, welcher ist nahe bei Jerusalem und liegt einen Sabbatweg davon. 1:9 Aprs avoir dit cela, il fut lev pendant quils le regardaient, et une nue le droba leurs yeux. 10 Et comme ils avaient les regards fixs vers le ciel pendant quil sen allait, voici, deux hommes vtus de blanc leur apparurent, 11 et dirent: Hommes Galilens, pourquoi vous arrtezvous regarder au ciel? Ce Jsus, qui a t enlev au ciel du milieu de vous, viendra de la mme manire que vous lavez vu allant au ciel. 12 Alors ils retournrent Jrusalem, de la montagne appele des oliviers, qui est prs de Jrusalem, la distance dun chemin de sabbat.
